Subject: FW: This is bound to go viral

The email from the trainee to his friend included a list of tour rules which were as follows:

Tour rules:

(i) Cheating is allowed; 

(ii) No anti-lad behaviour allowed (i.e. calling girlfriends, being nice to random expats);

(iii) Everyone has each other's backs;

(vi) No stealing ties or light bulbs;

(v) Compulsory gunning of parents affairs;

(vi) Mentioning parents' salaries once a day; and

(vii) Being good lads (i.e. getting a round in for England);

(viii) Chants about your surrounding environment, being oily and how rich we are, are compulsory;

(ix) Public school boy 10 minutes (collars must be up) at specified 10 minutes past the hour;

(x) No cameras allowed after sunset, unless it’s an underwater camera or there’s a spit-roast (for evidential purposes);

(xi) high fives (and honey glaze) are obligatory during a spit-roast and after;

(xii) All universal consumption laws will be in effect  throughout the duration of the tour; and

(xiii) At least one ‘Silly 5’ at the bar per night.  All G4 members must go to the closest bar and get loose with their credit/debit cards.  All drinks purchased to be consumed within the allotted 5 minute time period.

We will let you make your own minds up about this one. After being published in a series of national newspapers over the last week, it is going to be difficult to let this one go unnoticed by his firm.
